2018 Funko Pop Football Vinyl Figures

While the name might confuse collectors in the United States, Funko Pop Football is all about the stars of the global sport also known as soccer. Getting going with Premier League standouts, the line applies the classic vinyl likeness to subjects from some of the biggest clubs in the world.

The debut batch includes key representatives from Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United. The same basic sculpt is used for each player, but the figures do carry looks specific to the stars in question. Although the majority stand with hands on hips, and one boot on the ball, goalkeeper de Gea is holding the ball.

Hairstyles in particular help set apart the vinyls for David Luiz and Sadio Mané. And the Zlatan Ibrahimović figure displays his thin mustache/goatee combo and pulled-back hair. Pogba even has his trademark blonde stripe.

There is no word yet about future Funko Pop Football waves in the series, but it is safe to assume that options for La Liga, Bundesliga and MLS teams, among others, would also be well received.
